"Tis a pipe!” And Billdad the son of Jimdad called his wife to his side, and he spake unto her, saying: “Maud, the soft whiteness of thy cheek Is fatrer than the bloom that loves to linger on the lilies of the Nile! Thine eyes are twin thieves, which by some sorcery have ta'en the Nght from yon poor, weeping star, and now that light must lurk forever in those languorously limpid depths! Thy smile, O Maud, is like the scintillating sweetness of a summer's sky!" And Mand, the wife of Billdad the son of Jimdad, made answer, and said: “What talk have ye, Billdad? Quit your joshing, or I'll baste you with the broom, Got to go out again to-night, I suppose. What is it this time? The Inner Circle of the Royal Sons of a Krupp Gun? Oh is it the Ancient Or der of the Accidental Dollar Bill?’ And Billdad swered and said: ay, sweet wife of my weary heart, ‘tis none of these Tis polities that beckons .me_ forth into the noisome night. Knowst, thou not that the two Great Parties will soon have to grapple in the final death st le, and my uncertain vote. still avers in the winds of indecision? Therefore, this night, O wife of my weary heart, | go forth to join a*gar- rulous group of statisticians, astrolog- ists, soothsayers, and seers to the end’ that my eyes may clearly see the light and my vote may count upon the side of Right. Be thou of good cheer, be loved, for I shall sit at the feet of the wise men of Egypt and imbibe much wisdom. Wherefore, thou need’st not wait up for me, for politics is like unto an owl-train for lateness, and the soothsayers say not neither do they sooth until the world ig in the dead of night!” And Billdad the son of Jimdad went forth to sit at the feet of the wise men of Egypt. And it came to pass that full soon his heaving bosom rested on the onyx trimmings of the bar, and his right foot was in tender touch with the brass rail at the base thereof. And a great joy shone forth from his eyes as he murmured: “Six beers —what are you going to have?” | And when the night was far spent, Billdad the son of Jimdad drew zig: zaggingly igh unto his habitation, and his knees were prone to wobble, with much uncertainty of purpose. i And Maud, the wife of Billdad the: son of Jimdad, stood in the open door, ! and she made scornful conjecture, saying: “Ha! Ha! Thou did’st sit! at the feet of the wise men of Egypt, eh? Thou look’st the part, for, me- thinks, the wise men of Egypt used | you for a door-mat. Thou did’st also imbibe wisdom—from a stein! Bah,’ Billdad! Speak not to me of politics! Come, now, stand before me, Billdad, and with straightforward voice say after me these words: ‘I simply stood and heard those speakers shout!’” And Billdad the son of Jimdad ; swayed gently to and fro in the light of the breaking morn, and he spake, saying: “I shimply sh’ood an’ h’er; zoash sheekers spout!” And of the fretful finish of Billdad the son of Jimdad let there be no cruel | chronicle made. !

And straightway the little waves col- laborated in a successful effort to land on the City Man’s solar plexus, and what they did to his was a plentiful plenti- tude, And unto the wife of the City Man the little waves did likewise, un- til she was fain to scream sufficiency. And the undertow grabbed the City Man's wife's kinswoman and stood her on her head, and rendered her unfit for speechification, And the members of the life-saving station worked overtime hauling from the cavernous depths of the ocean the diminutive members of the City Man's own individual tribe; aud trouble was their portion And when the Cityites were come back from the bosom of the mighty Until She Was Fain to Scream Suf- ficiency. deep, the Mosquito and the Landlord presented their bills, and yet; unto this very hour the City Man knoweth not which bill penetrated with’ the most terrifying penetrativeness. And it came to pass that the City Man knew no peace in the Land of Pebbleonthebeach, and he communed with himself, saying: “Lo! the gentle- ' voiced advertisement is a delusion and a snare; for the wild waves are even an automobile chauffeur for rudeness; the humidity followeth unceasingly, and the Mosquito stingeth like an ad- der. Therefore will I gather the rem- nants of my tribe about me and flee for the City whence I came, lest, per- adventure, the Landlord shall take my wearing apparel, even as he hath taken my purse and the contents thereof.” And straightway he got up and gat. And even as he gat he communed with himself, saying: “Stang!” Cheer up, Bunch; the wurst is yet to come, as the man ‘said -when the waiter didn’t bring the sausage. Yours as heretofore, J. H.

The Sunday society has pleaded the in- creasing number of visitors—“entente cordiallists”—from across the channel unaccustomed to such severe observ- ance, as @ reason for opening more galleries and museums on Sundays. The request has been granted with a special view probably to the French invasion which is expected during the Franco-British exhibition this summer.

T notice in & good many papers a | ery for more taxes, s higher assessed valuation. In nearly all of these arti- clea {tis suggested that real estate should be asseesed at full value, that ig is not properly equalized with otber property. | Iwould ike to suggest some thing I think would practically solvelfnis | problem: First, les us have the assessment and collection of taxes the same year; by doing this a considerable amount could be collected that otherwise {s lost. Next, let us have a law requiring |all notes, bonds, ete., to bear the seal of the assessor, and then there would be no trouble abous getting this kind of property assessed for taxes, | Tthas been said and doubtless ts | true that there is not more than twenty-five of these classes of prop. jerty ever given in for assessment, It the Legislature will enact a law of this kind, it will go a long ways to- ward raising the deficit in our re. venues, and will come from aclass thatis plenty able to pay andshould pay. | Ot course, some think that the | realestate owner is making too @ach money, and he {s the one to make the extra tax, and let the moneyed man go without paying practically | anything. These conditions exist in Bates county, and if you will notice the | ‘abulated statement of the assess. |ment of Bates county and the con- solidated statement of the banksand trust companies, you will see that only a small amount of money {s given in for assessment. Since commencing this article, I have found a plece in the Kansas City Post from the State Auditor, which expresses my sentiments per- haps better than I can that I will ask the editor to print with this, R.
